SIP with free insurance is nothing but an additional facility provides by some mutual fund houses to only equity mutual funds..
There are several mutual funds such as Birla Sunlife, ICICI Pru and Reliance Mutual Fund that provide free Group Term insurance cover of 10 times the monthly SIP instalment during the first year.
